By his own admission - Amir Khan cannot afford to lose to Chris Algieri.

Khan wants a fight with Floyd Mayweather, and has been tipped to be the American's next opponent after he beat Manny Pacquiao earlier this month.

However, the Bolton boxer knows defeat in New York would all but rule out the chance of that fight taking place.

AmirKhan: ”I will be limited if I lose, so I cannot afford to make any mistakes. There is a lot of pressure on this fight in the sense that if you make a mistake you are done.

“It is hard to then look at those big fights. I am a lot more mature than I was two years ago. I see a massive progress. I understand the sport a lot better, I approach how I train and make weight better and I am much more professional.

“The Mayweather-Pacquiao fight wasn’t impressive, but Floyd did what he needed to do, he boxed smart. Whenever I watch any fighter, I always wonder how would I beat him, what I would do differently.

“I really believe that if I keep doing what I am doing and we get that fight against someone like Mayweather, I will cause him the biggest problems in his career.

“But I have not really thought about it too much, because I have got Algieri on my mind right now.

“If I have a bad performance it could ruin me. I want to get those mega fights.”
